Had used mustad hooks forever. Last fall Flatfish convinced me to use the sickle hooks. Boy am I glad he did. The only aberdeens I use are with one mold that is a custom one I build and I use for brim. Am I happy with the sickles you bet will I use them again yes. Untill they develop a better hook I will stick with them. Like the old addage about the Mouse Trap.
